Hi martinfocazio,

Round Valley Reservoir from this photo certainly looks like a true wilderness spot, but looks can be deceptive.



Just over the ridge line on the other side is one of those suburban sprawl property developments with a golf course bang in the middle (gated community possibly, can't really tell using google earth). Golf Courses just like reservoirs tend be highly sanatised places just as suburban and urban folks like them that way.

Did you hear the dawn chorus at the reservoir?
